The grapes come from the family's own plots in the Barolo and Barbaresco zone (including La Morra and Serralunga). Il Nebbio is deliberately vinified as a young, elegant interpretation of Langhe: predominantly Nebbiolo with a small proportion of Pinot Nero (authorised as part of the Langhe DOC). Cool, parcel-by-parcel harvest, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel with short maceration, followed by malolactic fermentation and ageing in steel tanks until early bottling – for maximum freshness and finely polished tannins.

Light to medium ruby red colour with a bright rim. The nose shows redcurrant and cherry, plus orange zest, violets and a hint of liquorice and white pepper. Juicy, clear and straightforward on the palate: medium body, fine-grained, soft tannins and a lively, citric acidity that carries the drinking flow. A cool, mineral flavour structures the precise, fresh finish. A puristic, still youthful Langhe Nebbiolo from a large estate – fragrant, delicately spicy and immediately accessible, yet with enough backbone for 3–5 years of positive development. SUPERIORE.DE
